The problem with the manuals is that they don't tell you basic things like what your input output file format should be; what kind of results you should expect from the Geolocator stage. Is it supposed to be run through the Program Stage? All these questions are not answered in the document; not eve...

I got these strange errors trying to run a CASS stage. Funny thing is, I can deploy and run the stage separately and it returns with no error message and with no run log. When I try to deploy and run it at the same time the error message appears both on the screen and on the log file.. Here' s the e...

I have created a custom name ruleset that is based on the USNAME .PAT The only thing I wanted to do was to capture some international names in the custom ruleset. Here's the problem.. I have multiple names such as John M John M John M I am wondering if QS will have a problem with multiple names. (Ju...

I am trying to find some information regarding Geolocator. The client is asking about invoking Geolocator from QS (if it 's possible at all). I would also like to know about your experience about running Geolocator routines. I haven't seen Ascential documentation about the software yet but wanted to...

I am having this problem as well.. Especially pulling metadata from QS environment to DS is a pain in the <you know where>. The Ascential document is not clear enough also.. Oh well.. Will call support and see what they say ..

Jay, to me it looks like a type problem. Consult with the business people before you make this decision though. They may want to send this to the clerical review. Good luck..

hi all two rows for example: 234 High Road, Apt 987 234 High Road, Apt 687 could not be differentiated. jay I am going to give you the best consultant answer and say "It depends" :) Truely, you have to check the other fields in the record if these two addresses are two different ones, or ...

Thank you. That helped big time.. Now why didn't Ascential mentioned this in their QualityStage Plug-in document?... They have a good product, but very bad documentation..

I installed both AIX server version on the server and the client version on the PC. When I click on the QS plugin and then on the server tab, I am not able to connect to the server when I type the IP address. I have to add that the port number on this tab and the port number on mngr.cfg match. Obvio...

Ewartpm, you cannot run more than one macth stage in a single job. This has been the case since the earlier versions and I think it is still an issue in the latest ver. 7 If you are using an ETL tool with QS, like DataStage or Informatica, then you can have the ETL tool call your 4 different jobs in...

I have noticed that the Canadian rule sets do not have necessary rules to: a. distinguish b. handle French vs. English names. At least, that is the impression I have through the data rule analyzer at the GUI environment. I know submitting names through CANAMES once and FRNAMES followed by that is no...

I ran into similar problems when installing QS server in UNIX. The CD that was sent out to my client lacked some scripts. Calling Ascential and requesting a new CD solved the problem.

Ray, it is N.America :) The things is I assumed that they knew about this. Since they are able to combine two different addresses for the same customer in one XML tag, they were thinking that will be the same for QS also. I have worked with quite a large amount of data before, so I know QS/Integrity...

I am trying to explain this to the client, and it ain't pretty. Here's the issue: They are planning to send the data in the following format into the ETL process: <customer> <name> John Smith</name> <addr> 123 main St. <addr> <addr> 328 Y ave.</addr> <system> A</system> </customer> so basically one ...
